Chapter 521 Big Brother, I'm here.
While Yinzhuo and Yintang were enjoying a peaceful and contented life, Yinti, who had led a group into the mountains overnight to search for someone, was so anxious that he was practically burning up with blisters in his mouth.
"I told you all to open your eyes wide and search carefully. Don't miss any nook or cranny. And have you heard anything about the other groups that went in the other directions? We've been in the mountains for a while now. Where do you think those two lads have hidden themselves...?"
As Yinzhuo's personal bodyguard and capable assistant, Hatu, even with his injuries, would naturally not be absent from tasks like searching for people in the mountains.
Hatu was just as anxious as Yinti was at this moment. After all, given the extent of His Majesty's favor towards his master, if something were to happen to him, they, the guards who were protecting him, would be in serious trouble, if not dead.
Fortunately, there is strength in numbers. With such a thorough search, not to mention the two living people, Yin Tang and Yin Zuo, even the ant holes in this mountain would probably be found out clearly.
After searching all night, as dawn broke, Yinti and his men finally made a discovery. Looking at the fine horse tethered under a tree not far away, even Yinti, with his good eyesight, felt somewhat dazed and uncertain.
"Hatu, come and take a look right now. Is that horse tethered under that tree your master's Ruyi?"
Is there even a need to look? This is deep in the mountains and forests. Let's not even talk about whether there are horses. Even if there are, they would be wild horses, okay? The horse tied under the tree is fully equipped with tack. Isn't that his master's Ruyi?
Yinti and his group numbered over a hundred people, and they surged forward in a flurry. Even if Yinzuo and Yintang were in the tree, they would still be easily spotted.
"Sixth Brother, wake up! Look over there, doesn't that person on horseback look like Big Brother? Big Brother has brought his men to find us..."
Yinzhuo was woken up from his sleep by Yintang. Still half asleep, he tried to turn over but almost fell off the tree branch. He managed to grab a nearby branch to steady himself.
After this ordeal, Yinzhuo's drowsiness vanished. He shifted his body and settled himself on the tree branch before peering in the direction Yintang had pointed.
While they were talking, Yinti and the others were getting closer and closer to the big tree where Yinzuo and Yintang were staying. Without even looking closely, Yinzuo knew that Yintang was right. Sure enough, his elder brother had brought people to find them.
"Big brother, big brother, we're here!"
While calling out to Yinti and the others, Yinzuo turned and climbed down the tree. Yinti heard the sound and looked over, and saw two figures on a large tree not far away, like wild monkeys in the mountains, using their hands and feet to hug the trunk and slide down.
"Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, you two rascals, tell me to watch out! Hatu, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take some men to the tree to continue burning your master's fire..."
Seeing that Yinzhi and Yinzuo had landed safely from the tree, Yinti finally felt relieved after a whole night of worry. But as soon as he felt relieved, his anger flared up again.
“I’m telling you guys, can’t you just stay quiet for a few days? Didn’t I tell you before that the people in Rehe City are a mixed bunch and it’s not safe lately? Did you just ignore me? Do you know how worried everyone was when they heard you were in trouble…”
Although Yinzhuo was usually the kind of person who would not let things go when he was in the right and would always try to find a way to justify himself when he was in the wrong, he could only lower his head and obediently accept the scolding, just like Yintang. There was nothing he could do, since he was in the wrong.
Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Yinzhu could imagine how panicked everyone was after learning of their assassination and disappearance yesterday. After all, judging from Yinti's red eyes, he must have not slept all night.
Now that they had successfully found Yinzhuo and his group, there was no need for Yinti and his men to stay in the forest any longer. They sent a few people to inform the other groups, and left Hatu to wait outside the forest. Only then did Yinti lead Yintang and Yinzhuo to Ma Hui's Summer Palace.
For Emperor Kangxi, it is no exaggeration to say that Yinzhi was the apple of his eye. Last night, no one slept inside or outside the villa. Yinti led people to search for someone in the mountains and forests all night without sleep, while Emperor Kangxi, Yinreng, and Yinzhen also sat in the Wushu Qingliang Flower Hall all night.
"Father, your son is back..."
Anyone who dared to shout at Emperor Kangxi at this time could be anyone but his most precious darling.
Although Kangxi appeared calm on the surface, his mind was in turmoil. Upon hearing Yinzhuo's voice, he could no longer remain seated. Before the people outside could even enter, he jumped up and rushed towards the door to greet them.
The father and son walked out one way and went in the other, finally meeting successfully at the entrance of Wushu Qingliang. Since learning of Yinzhuo's assassination attempt yesterday afternoon, Kangxi had been on tenterhooks until now. Now that Yinzhuo had finally returned, he immediately forgot about rules and etiquette.
He pulled the man close and carefully examined him from front to back and from top to bottom. Only after seeing that although the man's clothes were disheveled, there was no blood on his body did he finally feel completely relieved.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Did you get scared yesterday, Yinzhuo? Didn't your father tell you before that you shouldn't go out too much these days? Why don't you listen, child..."
Yinzhen stood by like a transparent person, watching his father and sixth brother check his wounds and ask him about his well-being. He was completely calm. If you asked him, wouldn't he feel envious or jealous?
Heh, what was that guy saying again? "Comparison is the thief of joy, and comparison is the thief of joy." His father's biased attitude has been going on for ages. What's the use of envy? What's the use of jealousy? Sigh, I'm used to it by now…
Although Emperor Kangxi favored Yinzhi, he didn't completely neglect Yintang. Even though both of them seemed perfectly healthy and energetic, Kangxi still sent someone to fetch the Imperial Physician Wang.
Only after the imperial physician Wang carefully examined the pulses of the two men and heard him confirm that Yinzhuo and Yintang were both in good health and had no major problems were they finally able to relax completely.
"Eldest brother, you worked hard last night. You must be exhausted after running around all night. So, I'll give you three days off. Go back and get some rest. Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother... you've all been keeping watch here all night. Now that Yinzhuo and Yintang have returned safely, you should all go back and get some rest too. As for everything else, we can talk about it after you've rested..."
